In pictures: Daft decisions from around the world

WE take a look at some of the greatest acts of stupidity and woeful decision-making from across the world.

IN honour of the tourist who needed rescuing after trying to climb Scotland's eighth highest peak in just a pair of flip-flops, we take a look at some of the stupidest decisions to ever have been made.

The raider who tested his gun by pointing it at himself, the fugitive who decided to post his location on Facebook and the robbers who decided to use a donkey as a getaway vehicle, they're all here.

Out of kindness, however, we have decided to leave out the man who thought it was a good idea to pair Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka at the heart of a World Cup team's defence.
